Some links for the bunnies Magnus Westerstrand discusses the hidden Bengtsson and his media gambit. I am sad to have witnessed the changes in Lennart Bengtsson’s media presence over the last few years. At first it was just a few comments in local media such as this article in UNT 2009 stating among other things that a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would only result in a temperature increase of about 1 o C as a result of the logarithmic forcing of CO 2 . This is misleading, of course, because it ignores feedbacks which increase that number substantially.

Here in Santa Clara County elections (and San Mateo County), the good issue on the ballot is Measure AA , a bond measure funding open space protection in two counties for the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District
